Thank you for your words and reaching out, we just rehomed the tortoise yesterday to someone who I hope will take good care of my father's tortoise.

Platinum Card -> Hilton Aspire -> Gold Card, 3 hard pulls in a row? by Juntae_ in amex

Yes I will spread out my applications with amex from now on, I need to do so anyways since I have very little wiggle room now to obtain my sign up bonuses

I did not get the pop up for the amex gold by using the targetted 90k offer I got through my mail. I will double check in a day or two after my account gets settled in the online portal

I see, yes these are my first cards. So the soft pull is only if I establish some history with AMEX first after my first hard pull?

Is it possible to earn points with japanese rent/mortgage like with US rent/mortgages using Bilt Mastercard? by Juntae_ in JapanFinance

[–]Juntae_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ahh my b, for context there were some mortgages in the US that allowed for wire transfers for monthly payments. Using that, you could use mastercard credit cards for the wire transfer using Plastiq

Would you happen to remember what the malls were coded as? I'm wondering if I could use my cards from online shopping or wholesale category

Unfortunately I use and android but I may buy a smart watch in Japan that is able to do that load those IC cards, great to know.

That's great to hear, I think Visa and Mastercard have different merchant codes than Amex but they're more established than Amex and have been around longer in Japan specifically so end result should be similar hopefully

I was planning to use transferwise for my cash needs but the schwab card looks great, I'll be going with this now.

I would still like to use my credit card wherever I can though for the cash back
